20 <i>lpc
</i> provides limited control over printer and class queues
21 provided by CUPS. It can also be used to query the state of
23 <p>If no command is specified on the command-line, lpc will
24 display a prompt and accept commands from the standard input.

"COMMANDS">Commands

26 The
<i>lpc
</i> program accepts a subset of commands accepted by
27 the Berkeley
<i>lpc
</i> program of the same name:

34 <p style=
"margin-left: 5.0em; text-indent: -5.0em">? [command]
37 Displays a short help message.

41 Exits the command interpreter.
42 <p style=
"margin-left: 5.0em; text-indent: -5.0em">status [queue]
45 Displays the status of one or more printer or class queues.
46 <h2 class=

"LIMITATIONS">Limitations
</a></h2>
47 Since
<i>lpc
</i> is geared towards the Berkeley printing system,
48 it is impossible to use
<i>lpc
</i> to configure printer or class
49 queues provided by CUPS. To configure printer or class queues
50 you must use the
<i>lpadmin(
8)
</i> command or another
51 CUPS-compatible client with that functionality.
52 <h2 class=

"COMPATIBILITY">Compatibility
</a></h2>
53 The CUPS version of
<i>lpc
</i> does not implement all of the
54 standard Berkeley or LPRng commands.
